Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that new Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy is “more than open” to keeping OC Kellen Moore on his staff.
According to Rapoport, there’s nothing more definitive than that right now regarding Moore’s status, but he says it does seem like McCarthy is willing to retain him.
Recent reports had said that Jerry Jones wanted to keep a few offensive coaches, who are under contract for the 2020 season including Moore, so this isn’t a big surprise.
To Moore’s credit, the Cowboys’ offense ranked well in his first year as coordinator.
Moore, 30, originally signed on with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Boise State back in 2012. Detroit elected to move on from Moore at the start of the 2015 season and later signed on to the Cowboys’ practice squad.
Moore missed the entire 2016 season with a broken ankle but he returned to Dallas last March. After being waived in 2017, the Cowboys added him to their practice squad for the remainder of the season.
Moore made the decision to join the Cowboys as their QBs coach and end his playing career in 2018. Dallas later promoted him to offensive coordinator for the 2019 season.
In 2019, the Cowboys’ offense ranked No. 1 in total yards, No. 6 in points scored, No. 5 in rushing yards and No. 2 in passing yards.
